What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter weather advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Topeka, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter weather advisory went out at Nov 24, 3:54 AM CST, 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 24, 3:54 AM CST, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 354 AM CST Sat Nov 24 2018 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 354 AM CST Sat Nov 24 2018 A relatively benign weather day is expected today into this evening before conditions gradually deteriorate late tonight... As of 09Z Saturday morning broad northwesterly midlevel flow was present across the central US. The trough axis that brought very light showers across the region Friday has progressed into the upper midwest region. The midlevel shortwave that will likely result near- blizzard conditions across portions of the area Sunday is currently positioned across MT/ID. For the rest of this morning and today, morning temperatures have been tricky as a very shallow, steep inversion remains overhead. Temperatures have remain in the upper 30s to near 40 where wind speeds have remain 5 MPH or greater. Areas that have seen wind speeds below 5 MPH have temperatures near 30. As deeper boundary layer mixing ensues after sunrise expect more consistent temperatures area-wide. A weak sfc ridge axis will traverse the region through the day, yielding light southeasterly winds with mostly sunny skies. Have increase highs this afternoon as 900 mb temperatures are near 10-12 C, with mixing heights reaching that point, highs will range from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Lee cyclogenesis will ensue across eastern CO through the day as the aforementioned shortwave traverses the central Rockies later today. Cloud cover will also be on the increase by late afternoon with the approaching trough. Uncharacteristically, model discrepancy remains with the placement of the sfc low late tonight into Sunday. Please refer to the long- term discussion for additional details regarding the winter storm. Bottom line precipitation is expected to overspread the area from northwest to southeast through Sunday morning. Some low-level dry air may delay precipitation onset, although strong ascent should saturate the column relatively quickly. Little, if any, in the way of a warm nose is progged by forecast soundings, therefore as sfc temperatures quickly decrease with the strong CAA, expect a rapid transition from rain to snow. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 354 AM CST Sat Nov 24 2018 Lots of questions remain unanswered from the models for Sunday. All of the operational solutions showed differing trends from 24 hours ago expect the ECMWF. The ECMWF continues to show some consistency with the storm system. And while the 00Z NAM was way different from yesterday, the 06Z NAM looks much more like the ECMWF. The 00Z Canadian has also trended towards the ECMWF solution. So the forecast favors the ECMWF a little more over the other solutions. However the lack of snow from the 00Z GFS/NAM gives some pause to going with the higher snow amounts. The main problem has always been whether the surface low will organize into a well defined cyclone with good frontogenesis on the northwest side. The GFS has struggled to show are good wrapped up cyclone and the 00Z NAM's trend to be much weaker with the system was unexpected. In general, have remained conservative with the forecast snow amounts with generally 2 to 5 inches expected north of I-70. But ensemble data suggests there remains some potential for higher snow totals across north central and northeast KS as far south as I-70. I do think some 8 inch reports are not out of the question. The one thing models are all in agreement with are the winds strengthening behind the surface low. If there was no weather, this would be a pretty high confidence wind advisory event. The concern with the winds is the likely near blizzard conditions with the snowfall. Will upgrade the watch to a winter storm warning trying to focus in on the areas most likely to see the worst conditions. This has looked like Brown and Nemaha counties for several days now. And will replace the watch with a warning for the remaining counties with the understanding that further upgrades may be needed if indeed the ECMWF proves to be the better forecast. The winter weather looks to be east of the area by Sunday evening and a northwest flow pattern develops through mid week with little to no moisture to work with. So a dry forecast persists through Wednesday. Subtle energy is progged by the models for Wednesday night and Thursday as the pattern transitions to more westerlies over the central plains. Because of this there continues to be some small chance POPs in the forecast. There are some signs of another mid-latitude cyclone developing just beyond the forecast period. There does not appear to be big push of warm air after the storm system on Sunday. So a gradual moderation in temps is forecast. Although snowfall on Sunday could impact how quickly temps moderate. Have adjusted temps for Monday expecting some snow cover. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night) Issued at 1102 PM CST Fri Nov 23 2018 Expect VFR conds to persist at FOE/MHK however near river bottoms at TOP there could be shallow patchy fog overnight due to shallow inversion that could set up.
